Everything you need to know about playing outside in The Natural State.
As a red head there are few things about the beach I like. First I only come in two colors: red and white. There is no tanning for me; so, once I get my fill of swimming, there’s nothing for me to do. Second after applying 50 layers of sunscreen, sand gets into crevices you [...]
It can if it joins forces with other epics. Last October we headed down to DeGray Lake to cover an XTERRA triathlon organized by DLT Event Management. An XTERRA is an event similar to a regular triathlon except instead of the cycling and running being done on the road, they are done on dirt trails, [...]
Of all the very interesting, sometimes frightening and often amusing things people have said to us when we are out and about in our Arkansas Outside personas, “Here, you should hold one of my legs” is in my top 10 most memorable lines. That’s not surprising considering the line was uttered by someone who is [...]
This past weekend we were afforded the opportunity of meeting legendary track and cross-country coach John Mcdonnell at Go! Running in Little Rock. On the heals of that great event, Go! Running is offering local athletes a chance to meet another inspirational Arkansas sports figure, Jeff Glasbrenner. Jeff is a 3-time ParaOlympian and 20-time Ironman [...]
Since I missed racing in the Raid the Rock adventure race last year, I’ve been itching to do some sort of multisport race. Enter the Medi-O-Core triathlon, a trail run, mountain bike, and rock climbing triathlon. That’s pretty close to a sprint adventure race in my book, minus the navigation, so that should easily scratch [...]
Way back in the mid-nineteen nineties when I lived in another place and was between love affairs with the outdoors. I started watching this craziness on the Discovery Channel. They were broadcasting an event called the Eco-Challenge Adventure Race. Athletes would go to really beautiful, remote parts of the world and compete in canoeing, trail running, [...]
The Tri-The-Lake Sprint Triathlon was a couple of weeks ago on 14th October, 2012. Setting up in darkness was a factor that I have not experienced in this, my first season of sprint-triathlons. A storm in the middle of night caused buoys on the lake to be reset, which delayed start time by 15 minutes. [...]
We’ve covered a few triathlons this year and part of an XTERRA during DeGray TriFest Weekend but this past weekend we were able to enjoy a couple of grueling XTERRA’s at DeGray Lake from start to finish. What is an XTERRA? Besides being a popular style of Nissan SUV, first and foremost it is a style of triathlon. Started [...]
Yep, it rained. It poured. But that didn’t stop folks from hopping on their bikes and taking on Arkansas’s first Bike & Hike last weekend. The event was a chance to enjoy the outdoors but also served another purpose: to raise awareness about ALS, a rare disease that damages the nerves that control voluntary muscle [...]
In March 2010, I began to lose sight in my left eye. After going to a plethora of doctors, it was discovered I had left, acute, retro-bulbar optical neuritis which is usually the first symptom of multiple sclerosis. 56%-88% of sufferers who also have white lesions on their MRI brain scan—which I did—are diagnosed with [...]
